About this product

Product Information

The Yamaha RS R-S201 7.2 Channel 280 Watt Receiver is a great stereo receiver that is simple to use. It only includes the elements necessary for a high-quality music or video experience. This entry-model receiver is intricately designed by blending both traditional features and high-technology expertise. It yields excellent quality and a rich sound. It keeps the menus and multi-tiered navigational options to a minimum so that you stay on your path during setup. Founded on the principle of natural sound, this unit seeks to be based on the tone of live music. Total harmonic distortion is kept low for a pure experience. With the R-S201, you can program up to 40 of your favorite FM and AM stations. You can conveniently select the one you want to listen to on the receiver unit. Alternately, you can use the simply designed remote control. The auto preset function allows you to search for and register FM stations that you can receive in your zone. The station frequencies can be found on the display, making it easy to tune to a new frequency when desired. Setting up input is as easy as tuning a station. Yamaha creates audio units that are straightforward to use, yet they are innovative enough to give you the features you need in a home theater system. The R-S201 is no exception. With a refined look, it coordinates well with other Hi-Fi audio equipment you may be using. The operating buttons and volume knobs on these electronics are made to make it to create the perfect listening experience. This unit conveniently offers you a headphones terminal for quieter listening options. Everything is controlled and managed through an easy-to-use remote control with a simple and ergonomic layout. With high output capabilities and a quality circuit design, the R-S201BL can deliver the performance you need. It sports a 100W x 2 high drive capacity with 8 ohms and 40 Hz - 20 kHz. This gives you a high sound quality composition that reduces the distance of signal routes and boosts the circuit layout. By placing the power transformer near the amp, power loss is decreased. Supply capacity is improved, allowing for high volume outputs. Because of the thoughtful positioning of the signal ground and supply ground, mutual interference is virtually eliminated. You get a higher S/N ratio, which results in sound brimming with crispness and freedom. This Yamaha receiver provides terminals for two systems so that you can connect two sets of speakers. The speaker selection option makes it a breeze to switch back and forth between outputs. Thus, you can hear the audio from one speaker system, known as A or B, or from both, known as A+B. One special feature in these accessories is the energy management function. These receivers automatically shut off the unit by swiping to standby mode when it hasn't been in use. The timer can be set to 2, 4, 8, or 12 hours, or it can simply be turned off. To save you even more energy, the energy consumption during the standby mode is only 0.5 W. That makes this unit Energy Star Certified.

  • Looking for a good receiver....

    My old system finally wore out and I needed a good, reliable receiver that didn't cost a kings ransom. I did a lot of research, read reviews and decided to go with a company that I felt I could rely on, Yamaha. And it does not disappoint. I had it hooked up to components and running in no time. The sound quality is excellent and it has no trouble powering some great speakers. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles (less to go wrong) but it's exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be happier!

  • I would buy a 2nd

    I would consider this a steal. I'm using this receiver in my large pole barn with 4 speakers. I have not had the volume up all the way because it is not needed. Sound is great and I have not heard any distortion.

  • turn table will not play with this unit.

    does not have a dedicated input for a turntable, so when you hook it up to one of the inputs the sound hardly comes through, jacks are under powered ( not amplified) for a turntable. real disappointment for me. don't push this amp to hard, I had mine kick off 2 times from overheating wile trying to dial in my speakers and E.Q, it's well ventilated on top of rack gets plenty of air, and I'm pushing a pair of American Acoustic Lab speakers with 15 inch subs rated at 225 watts. will swap for a comparable amp that can have a turn table connected. the amp does sound very good.

  • Great receiver for the money.

    I have a small electronics business and this is my go to receiver for small simple installs. FM reception is above average and it has enough power to fill a large room or power patio speakers well. I have 27 in service and have not had any problems or complaints to this date. It is also one of the easiest units to operate as well. This unit went into an office and was paired with 6.5 bookshelf speakers and a 8 inch powered sub that really rocks. The client was really impressed.

  • Wonderful amplifier for what I paid

    Magnificent sound if you don't need more than 2 channels. Planning to hook up my subwoofer to the second output channel to form a 2.1 sound system. Solidly built, great looking, and is expected to last decades down the road.

  • Musically delightful

    I am thoroughly enjoying my Yamaha Receiver. I have connected my 2 Bose speakers along with my CD player and I use it throughout the entire day into the late evening. Sounds fantastic, each instrument in the CD is so clear. Bass and Treble works great. It is just perfect for me what else can I say.
